The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The conversation that day, Leo did not convince Sylvia that the people sent by the Orthodox Church could not investigate any useful information, because she was very familiar with those people sent by the Orthodox Church, and they were all kinds of powerful people. Even she is not confident that they can win against them, so she thinks that with such a team, no matter how deep the hidden things are, they can be found out.

However, the follow-up news she received the next day made her realize that things had indeed developed as Leo had imagined. The team of Orthodox investigators went deep into the abyss of the mountain stream and did not see any traces of man-made structures. , although they found the lava river, they didn't see any cities built on the lava river. The only thing worthy of their attention was the huge skeleton of the eagle god that sank into the lava river.

It's a pity that even though it has been destroyed for such a long time, the power of the Eagle God still hasn't weakened in the slightest. Those strong people from various churches will feel a sense of suffocation if they get closer, and they can only prostrate on the ground.

Those of them who have been in contact with the divine power of the gods for a long time are so embarrassed when facing the bones of the eagle god, let alone others. As for building cities on lava rivers, they feel even more absurd.

So when they returned to the Orthodox Church from the mountain crevice, they all came to the same conclusion without exception, that is, the information given by Sylvia was not credible.

"What should we do now?" Sylvia asked with a gloomy face.

"You actually found the wrong person at the beginning. You shouldn't have found the Holy Court." Leo said bluntly: "The Orthodox Church has been in operation for so many years, and its internal thinking has long been rigid. I have put all my thoughts on these worldly power struggles, and have you ever thought that their thoughts on the matter of the mountain stream and abyss may not be the same as ours?"

"Why do you say that?" Sylvia frowned, puzzled.

Leo asked rhetorically: "If what I said is true, the Nephites usurped part of the teaching power of the Lord of the Sky Church on the continent of Velen through the God of the Eagle, and became the gods of the world of Velen, and began to follow their nature Is it really a bad thing for the Orthodox Church to conquer the civilization of Velen World?"

"It's not a bad thing, isn't it a good thing..." Sylvia was about to refute Leo's words, but suddenly thought of something she was about to say and stuck in her mouth again, and swallowed it again, showing a smile on her face at the same time. Pensive expression.

"You must have thought of it too." Seeing Sylvia like this, Leo knew that Sylvia already knew what he was going to say, so he continued to talk, helping Sylvia to sort out her thoughts: "Actually, Nai It is not a bad thing for the Orthodox Church to usurp the power of bishops in the sky and become the new gods of the world of Velen. Once the Nephite start to conquer the secular civilization, the countries in the world of Velen can only rely on other The gods, because only the gods can fight against the gods, and the final result is that the Orthodox church and various churches will regain the dominance of the church over the secular world."

"It is impossible for the governments of various countries to allow this kind of thing to happen." Sylvia said solemnly.

"It is indeed impossible to agree, but what's the use?" Leo shrugged, and then continued: "And there are new gods in the world of Velen, and they can be active in the world of Velen, so what about other gods? Being able to use the word as a breakthrough and return to the world of Vinylon, in the end, it is likely to directly bring the world of Vinylon back to the original era of the gods, which was also the era when the church had the greatest power. How attractive is this to the churches of the Vinylon world? .”

Sylvia didn't say anything after hearing this, and the expression on her face became extremely serious, because for a witch like her, or other supernatural beings in the world of Velen, the era of the gods with the highest teaching authority is definitely not a memorable one. In that era, they were all heretics hunted by the church as prey, living a precarious life, and no reasonable person would want to return to that life.

"You just said that I found the wrong partner." After a while, Sylvia broke the dull atmosphere in the room and asked, "Then who do you think I should ask to investigate this matter?"

Leo quickly answered: "The Church of the Lord of the Sky in the French Empire, the United Kingdom of France, the Black Forest and Miria."

"I can understand the two choices of the French Empire and the United Kingdom. After all, the increase in religious power will inevitably take a heavy blow to the royal power and political power. Those in power in the two countries will not want to see such a thing happen." Sylvie Ya slightly approved part of Leo's answer, but she still had doubts about the other two subjects, so she asked: "But what about the Church of the Lord of the Sky in the Black Forest and Miria region? Don't you mean the new Is the appearance of the gods good for other gods?"

"Yes, it is indeed beneficial, but not everyone is beneficial." Leo then explained: "Don't forget, what is the reason for the appearance of the new god, the Lord of the Sky will definitely not want to see the appearance of this new god .Looking at the current situation, most of the Purifiers of the Lord of the Sky Church in the United Kingdom are likely to become believers in the new god, but the Lord of the Sky Church in Miria is different. They should still be very devout members of the Church of the Lord of the Sky. I guess they should also see that something is wrong inside the church, so they decide to split a part and take away the believers who are loyal to the Lord of the Sky, so as not to be corrupted, so they will definitely cooperate with them. We will spare no effort to investigate this matter.”

As he spoke, he paused for a while, took a sip of the fruit wine on the table, and continued. "As for the Black Forest, it's even simpler. The Nephites are outsiders to the world of Velen. The Black Forest will never allow outsiders to infiltrate the world of Velen through such a tricky method, so the existence of the Black Forest knows There will definitely be some movement in this matter, and the movement will be very big, after all, the Dibia Mountains can be regarded as an extension of the edge of the Black Forest, and the gods of the Black Forest can also exert sufficient power here."

After listening to Leo's explanation, Sylvia also felt that it made sense. She immediately decided to give up her previous plan to cooperate with the Orthodox Church, and decided to pass the matter of the mountain crevice to the Church of the Lord of the Sky in the Miria region and the United Kingdom. As well as the Black Forest, as for the French Empire, she, the head of foreign affairs and intelligence, is not suitable for direct contact with it. It is safer for the United Kingdom to contact her.

After writing two pieces of letter paper introducing the situation, Sylvia wrote the names of Sister Hannah and Rupert Fitz on the recipient column respectively, and then handed them over to her most capable staff Secret agents, let them deliver these two letters to the recipients in the shortest possible time.

After doing all this, she re-wrote a more detailed letterhead, specifically mentioning that the Nephiltians came from the outer starry sky, and then asked Leo for the white letter they left when they left the Black Forest. A sacrificial vessel made from the skull of an unknown monster given to them by a deer.

This sacrificial vessel allows Leo to contact the White Deer in the Black Forest regardless of location, and communicate with him on letter paper.

Holding the sacrificial vessel, the two left Castle Black and came to the outskirts. Then they drew the emblem of the White Hart on the ground according to Professor White Hart's method, and then put the skull in the emblem, and Sylvia recited a A series of prayers, the badge of the White Deer's god's name immediately emitted real light, and these lights were also integrated into the skull, making the skull appear a monster phantom that was shaped like a ball, landed on eight legs, and had a huge mouth.

The moment the monster appeared, Sylvia threw the letter in her hand into the monster's mouth.

After the entrance of the letter, the monster closed its mouth and then disappeared, and the light on the skull and the badge of the god's name also disappeared.

"The next step is to wait for the news." Seeing that it was over, Sylvia was ready to pick up the skull.

But Leo held her back and said, "The matter is not over yet."

As soon as Leo's words fell, the badge of the god's name and the skull glowed again, and an illusion appeared on the skull again, but this time the illusion was no longer the monster, but the white deer.

I saw that the expression on Bailu's face at this moment was very serious. After the illusion stabilized, he immediately asked Leo and Silvia: "Are you sure about the things in the letter?"

"Yes, sure." Leo replied affirmatively.

"This news is very important to us." Bailu said very seriously: "I still need your help."

"Help for what?" Leo asked.

Bailu said in a deep voice: "Just now you said that you would join forces with the French Empire, the United Kingdom, and some members of the Bishop of the Sky to investigate this matter. I also hope that you will contact them for me, saying that the Black Forest will also participate in this matter."

"That's fine." Leo nodded.

The white deer added: "In addition, although the Dibia Mountains are an extension of the Black Forest, the power we can exert there is very limited, so if we want our Black Forest to join the battle, we need to find ways to help us create a temporary Black Forest .”

"How to do it?" Leo asked.

The White Deer didn't answer, but stretched his neck, and spat out a very old-looking book from his mouth, saying: "There are methods written on it, you'd better give it to the followers of the Lord of the Sky, they That's the right person to use this method." After finishing speaking, he was about to end the conversation and dispel the strength that condensed his body, but when his eyes scanned the surrounding environment, he saw Castle Black standing on the cliff overlooking the sea , I couldn't help being stunned, stopped dispelling the power on my body, turned to Leo and Sylvia, and asked, "Is this a place called Wanghai Cliff in the south?"

"Yes." Sylvia was slightly taken aback, and said, "Do you know this place?"

Bailu couldn't help showing a little strange look, looked at Leo and the others, and said, "Why did you choose to come here?"

"This is my fiefdom, and the Black Castle behind is my castle." Sylvia explained, and then asked, "Is there something hidden here?"

"Of course there is a problem," Bailu gave an affirmative answer, and then said with an unbelievable look, "I didn't expect someone to build a castle here for people to live in, and nothing happened," he said, and looked at it again Looking at Leo and Silvia, he said meaningfully: "This is really a miracle!"

Seeing Bailu's obvious attitude, Leo and Sylvia looked at each other, and then asked, "I wonder if you can tell us the secret of Wanghai Cliff?"

"It's inconvenient to say, but..." Bailu shook his head first, then thought of something, and disappeared with his body, but the light of the skull and the badge of the god's name did not disappear. After a while, they reappeared and turned to the ground again Spit out a book and said: "This book is a boring travelogue written by a boring person. It is not a product of the Black Forest. It is not restricted by the rules of the Black Forest. You can take it and read it. You want to know The things in it are in it, even if the content inside seems a bit silly." As he spoke, he said very cautiously: "But I want to remind you that you must be careful when reading this book, and don't be fooled by your content. Fascinated."

After finishing speaking, Bailu didn't wait for Leo and Sylvia to ask new questions, and directly dissipated the power and disappeared from the two of them.

When Sylvia picked up the skull and cleaned up the god name badge on the ground, Leo also picked up the two books on the ground, and said, "After I finish reading these two books, I will read the contents..." As he was speaking, he stopped suddenly, followed him to carefully look at the cover of the book that recorded Wang Haiya's secret, his face showed a look of astonishment, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's the madman Thirteen Gu Knowledge of God, this is a book of knowledge of the thirteen ancient gods of madmen."

Sylvia heard that and immediately looked at the book in Leo's hand. When her eyes fell on the cover of the book, she immediately felt a kind of nausea that she had never had before, accompanied by a strong Vertigo, the eyes are also distorted in this bad feeling, and everything seen becomes a distorted object that cannot be expressed in words.

However, fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly. When Leo realized that something was wrong with Sylvia, he immediately wrapped the book in his hand with his clothes to cover the cover, and the book disappeared from her eyes. After disappearing, she also recovered.

"Why did you react so strongly? I thought..." Leo was about to say something when he saw Sylvia's pale face.

"This is not the knowledge of the thirteen ancient gods of the madman." Sylvia interrupted Leo's words, and said affirmatively while adjusting her state: "This is the book of distortion, the book of distortion written by the heretic sage."

"This is the Distorted Book of the Heretic Saint?" Leo was stunned, looked at the wrapped book in his hand, and said, "Hasn't the Distorted Book been destroyed?"

"Yes, as far as I know, it was destroyed." Sylvia nodded, and then guessed: "Unless the heretic sage wrote two twisted books."
